they don't think washington hears what they're saying. and they clearly don't believe the president and ms. pelosi and senator reid are hearing what they're saying. they're saying enough is enough is enough. and so they sent a message washington should listen. >> is that message, put the republicans back in power? >> at this point i think what they want to do is they want the job-killing agenda here in washington to stop. listen, they're not enamored with us except that right now they're ready to take a chance on us because they've seen what the other team can produce. >> yesterday on n.p.r. you said that you would favor bipartisan legislation as long as it leans in your direction, the balance leans in your direction. do you think that it's the responsibility of the majority, the only way they can get bipartisan votes is to have legislation that leans in the minority's direction? >> you have to remember that there are 59 democrats in the senate and 41 republicans. in the house the democrats, majority, is 40 seats larger than the minority.

i would like to fast forward, if i may, to your meeting with president bush, in washington, on the 31st of january, 2003. wasser main objective at that meeting, to convince the president just as you would -- had convinced him that it was important to go through the u.n. to get this first resolution, now it was necessary to get a second resolution? >> yes. the second resolution was obviously going to make life a lot easier, politically, in every respect. the difficulty was this: that 1441 had been clear and i know you went through this in enormous detail with peter goldsmith but to emphasize the point it was a very strong resolution and declared iraq was a material breach, it said that it had fully and unconditionally and immediately to cooperate and cooperate with the inspectors and so on, and it was a strong resolution. it specifically mentioned the previous resolution 678, 687 and so on. as you have heard, the truth is there was an unresolved issue. because some people, some countries, obviously, wanted to come back and only have a decision foreaction with a specific u.n. resolution s

we've seen this dramatic increase in the growth government, in spending here in washington, d.c., most of which is financed with borrowing. in fact, last year 43 cents out of every dollar that we spent here in the federal government was borrowed. you cannot continue to sustain a pattern of borrowing 43 cents out of every dollar that you spend. in fact, as american families and households and small businesses are having to tighten their belts, here in washington, d.c. the spending just continues and continues and continues unabated. and what i'm hoping to do with this amendment, mr. president, is to at least demonstrate that as an institution, the united states senate is willing to say that we are going to take some steps, no matter how modest they are -- and i would say that my amendment isn't going to go a long ways toward eliminating this federal debt, but it certainly, i think, demonstrates to the american people that we get it, that we're hearing that they are uncomfortable with the massive amount of spending and borrowing and taxing that's going on in washington, d.c. of course th
